the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart Chapter 1032: First Field Expedition

Under the urging of the matriarch, the couple’s wedding application was approved on the fifth day. Crystal Landon was not yet of legal age to marry, so she had to alter her age by two years before getting married.

On the night of the wedding, Richard Shaw returned to the Southwest Military Zone, and he would be gone for over a year.

During the second college entrance examination, both Crystal Landon and Nova Howard got into Imperial City University. Nova chose the journalism departnt, while Crystal surprisingly chose the botany major.

The botany major requires field research, which is rarely chosen by girls due to the risks, the hardship involved, and the less optimistic job prospects.

With Crystal’s high exam scores, she could practically pick any major she wanted. After choosing botany, nobody could understand why, except for the matriarch and Hawk Howard, who said nothing.

With exceptional grades and good looks, Crystal quickly stirred a sensation upon entering Imperial City University and was crowned the campus queen. However, over the past year, she remained a solitary figure, mainly interacting with the Howard Family and making no other friends.

"Had I known earlier, I would have chosen the sa major as you. Field research, you get to follow the teachers out in the first sester of freshman year, boohoo." Nova Howard said, pounding her small fist against her chest with a look of mock despair, "I also want to go."

As Crystal was packing for this trip, she smiled and said, "Co on, if you go for field research, you’ll end up being taken to a remote area to be soone’s bride, deep in the woods, I wouldn’t be able to find you."

"Is it that scary? Then aren’t you in danger since you look so beautiful?" Nova widened her eyes and said.

Over the past year, the baby fat on Nova’s face had disappeared, revealing a pointed chin, making her a charming little beauty. But standing next to Crystal, she was imdiately overshadowed.

Every ti Nova saw Crystal’s face, she had an existential crisis, wondering why, when both born by parents and raised on rice, Crystal seed so far ahead of her.

"Do you know that the number of people on the school forum bashing you is increasing exponentially?" Nova said, lying on the small tatami in Crystal’s room with a thoughtful look, "But the people who like you are practically infinite."

"You really are a journalism student, such a gossip." Crystal laughed, "I’ll be gone for a month this ti. If you have ti, co by the Shaw Mansion to take care of my grandmother and keep her company."

Only the Shaw Family knew about Crystal’s marriage; Richard had not been transferred back to the Imperial City, and many things including the wedding couldn’t be arranged, so they simply kept it a hidden marriage. Crystal hadn’t ntioned it to anyone, so nobody at Imperial City University knew that the goddess had long been married.

"Don’t worry. By the way, why are you preparing so many things?" Nova asked, surprised as she saw the 50-liter backpack completely filled.

"There are many unexpected situations during field research, better to be prepared." Crystal packed the lighter and GPS inside, efficiently organizing her bag. This bout of field research was a group expedition led by a botany teaching assistant. Alongside her was another girl and two boys, all three were graduate students, making a total of five people.

The entire cost for this expedition was sponsored by Crystal, which was why she could participate in field research in her first sester. The sole benefit of marrying Richard Shaw was that she had indeed beco quite wealthy. The matriarch also intended to teach her household managent; many matters were gradually left for her to handle, letting her gain experience.
